Reviewer: Jason Sebesto, D.O., M.Sc.(Mayo Clinic Florida)
Description: This quick-reference guide for commonly encountered neurological emergencies uses an outline format to present a stepwise approach to evaluating, stabilizing, and treating critically ill patients.
Purpose: By no means a comprehensive book on neurological emergencies, rather this is a guide to common neurological conditions and symptoms that warrant emergent evaluation and/or intervention for those new to the field.
Audience: It is appropriate for medical students and residents rotating through the neurology ward and ICU, as well as midlevel practitioners. While the authors are not neurohospitalists/neurointensivists, their combined years of experience in teaching students/residents who rotate through the neurology wards lends them the necessary expertise.
Features: The book delivers information in outline format with accompanying figures and tables that make this an ideal pocket reference on the wards (yes, it does actually fit in a white coat pocket). The information is presented in a stepwise fashion, starting with the ABCs of evaluating the unstable patient, followed by focused history/exam and immediate investigations/treatment, expanding to in-depth history/exam. An appendix of neuromuscular anatomy is included for a refresher when localizing a peripheral process is needed, which is ideal for those not immersed in a neuromuscular practice.
Assessment: This is an excellent pocket reference for medical students or residents just starting out on the neurology hospital service. It uses a logical approach to the bedside assessment of a critically ill patient presenting with neurological symptoms or conditions. This book is unique in its focus on neurological emergencies, not all of neurology.
